David Holoubek (head coach of MFK Ružomberok): „We were a bit better than the opponent, but then we got a red card that made a big difference, because if we want to play a balanced match with a team like Slovan, we must to play in ten people. We must not allow tobe excludedin such a stupid way and all players must perform above average, which has not been shown today. Perhaps we gave a nice impression that we were working hard, trying to attack. I think the opponent is very good and we can not match them with oursquad. All players must play well and it did not show up today, so I congratulate the rival. I think he won deservedly and we have to prepare for the next weekend when we go to Trnava. It will also be difficult. A red card, injured Qose, so for us it is a very difficult situation. We do not have such a big team to be able to replace them."
